Youth Subsidy 30 years and younger
HRNZ is providing a subsidy and no licence fees are required to be paid if you are 30 years and younger provided your application is completed online by 30 June 2023.
Payment Options
Payment can be made by credit card, from your bank account or by invoice.
Payment by invoice
- For Trainers and Drivers there is an option to pay by invoice so that the licence fee is not required upfront.
- The invoice is then paid via an attachment to your trainer or driver fees paid by HRNZ each fortnight.
- The stakes payment must be due to you as an individual to be applied to your licence fees invoice.
- If you choose to pay by invoice, the deductions will begin from the next centralised stakes payment run on 28 June 2023.
- The invoice must be paid in full before 31 July for your licence to be renewed. You will not be able to nominate horses or be entered as a driver for race meetings in the 2024 season unless this invoice is fully paid.
Drivers Medical Reports
Please complete your online renewal application and submit the medical once completed.
Completed medical forms can be uploaded in the licence renewal programme, emailed or posted to HRNZ.
